It seems that nitrogen is, but its odd tbh.
Ions are electrically charged particles, meaning, that whenever any type of atom loses or gains electrons it is forming a new type of structure, or ion.
Metal atoms form postive ions, Non-Metals form negative ions.
The strongest type of bond that can occur between two ions, when they are oppositely charged, are Ionic Bonds. The most commonly known ionic bond is seen in Sodium and Chlorine, which when combined give us NaCl or Sodium Chlorine, aka Salt.
+1 charge = Group 1, Metals
+2 charge = Group 2, Alkali Metals
-1 charge = Group 17, Halogens
Provided is a periodic table marked with the charges for each group.
Electrons basically ARE the chemical bond. The atoms are joined together by the bonds.
It should be 8 O atoms. 3O atoms in Na2S2O3 and 5O atom in 5H2O. The reason there are 5 O atoms are because the 5 in front of H2O means you multiply each atom in the compound by that number (like the distributive property). The H2 molecule becomes 10 Hydrogen atoms (5*2) and the Oxygen becomes 5 Oxygen atoms (5*1). Then you add the 5O atoms to the 3O atoms which equals 8
Matter.
A force of attraction that holds atom together
<span>When atoms react they form a chemical bond which is defined as a force of attraction that holds atom together. A force of attraction is defined as a kind of force that draws two or more objects together regardless of distance. There are two major categories of forces of attraction, one is intramolecular and intermolecular. Intramolecular forces is the presence of forces in atoms internally. While intermolecular is the force by which the force that is existent in two or more elements. </span>
